8EPTEMBER, 1803.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-John D.
Rockefeller appears for 'the -first time
in the role of an author in a series of
articles on "Some Random Reminis
cences of Men and Events," the first
of which will appear on Friday in
the October issue of "The World's
Vork.".: " ;': -l
Mr. Rockefeller gives as a reason
for upcaking now, that "if a tenth of
the things that have been said are true
then dozens of able and faithful men
who have been associatd with me,
many of whom have passed away,
muKt have been guilty of grave faults.
For myself, I had decided to say no
thing, hoping that after my death the
truth would gradually come to the
urface and posterity would do strict
justice; but while I live and can tes
tify to certain things it seems fair
that I should refer to some points
which I hope will help to set forth
several much discussed happenings
in a new light I am convinced that
they have not ben fully understood.
"It has been said that I forced the
men who became my partners in the
oil business to join with me. I would
not have been so short sighted. If it
were true that I followed such tactics,
f ask, would it have been possible to
make of such men life long compan
ions?" Mr. Rockefeller speaksfof the de
relopment of the Standard Oil Com
pany and says that the plan of selling
direct to the consumer, and the ex
ceptionally rapid growth of the busi
ness," bred a certain antogonism
which I juippose could not have ben
avoided. ,
Of the direct selling to the consu
mers he says:
"TJiis was done in a fair spirit and
with the consideration for everyone's
rights. We did not ruthlessly go af
ter the trade of our competitors and
attempt to ruin it by cutting prices or
instituting a spy system." ,
If any of the employes of the com
pany were overzealous in going af
ter sales, he says that they acted in
violation of cxpresed and known wish
es of the company. Mr. Rockefeller
says that in the early days of the oil
industry it was considered a most haz
ardous undertaking not altogether un
like the speculative mining undertak
ings we hear so much of, to-day.
'None of us" he says, ever dreaned
of the magnitude of what proved to
be the latter expansion."
Further on he says:
"Another thing to be remembered
about the so-called "Octupus" is that
there has been no 'water introduced
into the capital perhaps, we felt that
oil and water would not have mixed)
nor in all these years has anyone had
to wait for money which the Standard
owed. It is! a common thins to hear
people say that this company has
crushed competitors. Only the unin
formed could make such an assertion.
It has had and always has had an al
ways . will nave hundreds of active
competitors. '
"The Standard has not now and
never did have a royal road to su
premacy nor is its success due to
any one man but to the multitude of
able men who are working together."
In discuvsing the "modern corpor
ation" Rockefeller says:
"Beyond question there is a suspic
ion of corporation. There may be
reason for such suspicion very' often;
for a corporation may be moral or im
moral just as a man may be moral or
the opposite; but it is folly to con
demn all corporations because some
are bad, or even to be unduly suspic
ious of all, because some are bad. But
the corporation in form and character
has come to stay that is a thing that
may be depended upon.
"It is too late to argue about the ad
vantages of industrial combinations;
they are a necessity and if Americans
are to have the privilege of extending
their business in all the states of the
union and into foreign countries as
well, they are a necessity on a large
scale and require the agency of more
than one corporation."
Mr. Rockefeller recalls what he said
at, an official hearing that "If I were
to suggest any explanation regarding
industrial combinations it would be,
first federal legislation under which
corporations may be created and reg
ulated, if that be possible. Second,
in lieu , thereof, state legislation, as
nearly tiniform as possible, 'encourag
ing combinations of persons and cap
ital for the purpose of carrying on in
dustries, but sufficient to prevent?
' "'.' Good For Biliousness.
"I took two of Chamberlain's Stom
ach and Liver Tablets last'night,'and
r feel 50 per cent better than 1 have
for weeks, says J. J. Firestone, of
Allegan, Mich. "They are certainly a
fine article for biliousness." For sale

MANILA'S SCOURGE.
' MANILA, Sept. 24. The epidemic

eral days ago, died to-day. No Ameri
